is this where we crucify one of our best players for 1 bad mistake for the next 4 years, ignoring lack of support from teammates, and the fact Spain are better on the night? :(
they gave it a good go, there's always next time.
will be interesting to see how much more popular women's football get, both channels showing the final, shows they're expcting a lot of interest

Gutsy performance all round, yes you can pick on a player for a mistake but there was ample opportunity to make it right. Hitting the bar and that Laura James shot just being tipped over.
Spain are much better at close control than we are and I thought for all the courage shown we were a pace short too many times.
Lets hope Sarina fancies another four years.
Consider this. Women's football was still banned in 1966 and there's only been a professional league since 2018.

at my girls' primary school, they have a girl only session 1 night a week, BUT the girls can also play on the boys' night with the boys as well. 1 of mine is happy to do both, as are some of the other girls, but there are some girls who only want to do ( or are only allowed by parents on?) the girl sessions, so it's a pretty good situation at their school.

Fifa suspended Rubiales for 90 days, not enough for someone who doesn't see the problem. Fifa should ban all the people who clapped his refusal to resign too.
